Cinemalistics was founded by a small team of obsessives — storytellers, technologists, journalists, and investigators — who believe true crime deserves a platform built to the same standard as the best investigative work in the world.
The crime lab isn't a place. It's a mindset. And we're inviting the world into it.
Anthony E. Zuiker is the creator, executive producer, and showrunner of the CSI franchise — the most watched television series in the world at its peak, spanning CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, CSI: Miami, CSI: NY, and CSI: Vegas. Over two decades, Zuiker transformed the way the world thinks about forensic science, popularizing the discipline for a global audience of hundreds of millions.
With Cinemalistics, Zuiker returns to his roots — not as a showrunner, but as an architect. The platform is the culmination of everything he learned about how people engage with crime, evidence, and justice, rebuilt from the ground up for the age of AI and participatory media.
